I just built a new system and I wanted to push the performance a bit so I tested how many programs I could open and play a game before it froze up..
Programs Opened:
Games
Software
Scanners
Media
While all of this was running on my system I played an entire match of Heroes of Newerth (dota clone) with very very minimal performance issues, CPU didn't go above 52c and GPUs didn't top 50c.
My Count: 33
